So far, 2026 has been full of unexpected illness and hardship, both personally and within my little family.
Earlier this year, my soul dog was diagnosed with cancer (my sweet Franklin). He had the one cancerous mass removed, and walking through that season was incredibly difficult. The waiting, the surgery, the recovery, it all took a lot emotionally. I’m so grateful to share that he is doing well and healing beautifully right now. That alone feels like a gift.
At the same time, I faced several health challenges of my own. I ended up in the ER with kidney stones and a kidney cyst, followed by upper and lower respiratory infections and a double ear infection. Being that sick triggered a severe arthritis flare-up. There were days I couldn’t click a mouse, hold equipment properly, or even open a water bottle without pain. For someone whose work depends so much on their hands and focus, that was incredibly humbling.
This season has forced me to slow down in ways I didn’t plan to. But I am on the mend. I am getting stronger each day, and my body is gradually recovering. I am pushing through with determination and gratitude.
I also want my clients to know that I have albums coming out this week and next week. I am working as quickly and carefully as I can to make sure everything is delivered with the quality and care you all deserve. Your memories matter to me, and I do not take that lightly.
Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your continued support during this time. It truly means more than you know. I’m committed to showing up, healing fully, and continuing to create beautiful work for you. 🤍
